It's not like I suffer delusions of grandeur...

Well Tommer,

 

I ain't made a chair before, nor steamed/bent timber, and if I could get the labour time down, I'd likely sell something like that at 500 a go.

 

Given the quality of the wood and the craftmanship that has gone into making that. I'd say that is very reasonable. I'd of thought it would have been over a grand.

Brushcutter, you fancy doing my sales mate?

What -is- the animal in the third picture of your second post? Could just be perspective, but that alone looks like something out of Lord of the Rings!

Thank you Dave,, yer, I'm quite pleased with it, for my first chair (made too many tables!)

Beautiful craftsmanship there

 

Just a few thoughts : would it need side supports on the legs as when you get on a chair and slide forwards and backward there are forces pushing on the legs??

 

Also the small supports on the front of the chair i would of steam bent it abit just to go with the flow of your chair, just a few thoughts like i said

Thanks for the interest there Ian.

 

you know, I'd had ENUFF of woodbending for a while, and I wanted the bottom supports to match the angles of the underside stuff - the whole gothic like part of it remaining just on the top.

 

Leg supports? Not needed - rebated, biscuited, glued, screwed, interlocking pieces... and so on. Quite sturdy, even over time ;-)

 

Had it not been my chair for at my desk, and for sale, I likely would have added further supports to the legs - no doubt some little oik would wanna swing on it. Seeing as it's for keeps, didn't want to crowd it out.
